Chili Rice

Chili Rice, not to be confused with chili and rice. This recipe is similar to Spanish rice as the rice is cooked in the chili sauce allowing the flavor of the chili to be absorbed into the rice. Simply delicious! I use turkey in my chili, but feel free to use beef with portuguese sausage if you desire!

In medium stock pot over medium heat, add oil, onions and peppers and saute until translucent. Add the garlic, tomatoes and ground beef. Cook until meat is browned.

Add rice to mixture and cook over low heat for 3 minutes, coating rice with the oils from the pan. Add beans, chicken stock, water and seasonings, bring to a simmer, then cover and cook on low for 20 minutes.
